Jeremy Liew says to forget the critics and watch "Planet of the Apps" for its window onto pitch meetings

Jun 12, 10:14PM

 Reviewers have not been kind to Apple’s first TV offering, “Planet of the Apps.” Variety had a particularly entertaining, if biting, take, with writer Maureen Ryan likening the show to “something that was developed at a cocktail party, and not given much more rigorous thought or attention after the pitcher of mojitos was drained.” Earlier today, we talked with one… Read More

The HTC U11 is a good phone with a dumb gimmick

Jun 12, 7:17PM

 Squeezable sides are a very bad reason to buy a phone. Especially now, when the U11’s Edge Sense doesn’t do a whole hell of a lot.

HTC has done itself a disservice banking on a goofy gimmick with its new flagship. The Edge… Read More
